Excerpt from Symbols of Christ Such an account now claims our examination. When London was an Open waste, when its river was flowing in a solitude, and the red deer bounded over the spot where we meet to-day long before Greece was born or Rome was built; before the artists of Egypt and Nineveh had learned to cover their temple walls with strange arabesque and pictured story perhaps even before the smoke of worship had ever been seen going up from the rough, upright stones on Salisbury Plain, there dwelt in Palestine a venerable chief who was called Melchizedek.
